Eagles of Death Metal play first Paris show since November attacks

Ninety people died when three gunmen opened fire during the band’s performance at the Bataclan theater last year.

Hughes stopped Tuesday’s show at L’Olympia briefly to call for a “moment to remember” the November night, and even jumped off stage to give a survivor in a wheelchair a hug, the Local reported. The band deliberately omitted their song Kiss the Devil, which they had been playing when the shooting began in the November attack, the Guardian reported.

The California band’s frontman Jesse Hughes called for universal access to guns in an emotional interview with the French television station iTélé on Monday.

He said he did not believe the issue at hand was gun control, but added that French gun control laws did not stop a single person from being murdered that night.

“Did your French gun control stop a single f—ing person from dying at the Bataclan?,” he said. “I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that I’ve ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms.”

The band was joined by Josh Homme on drums, the Queens of the Stone Age architect who normally only appears on the Eagles of Death Metal albums, Rolling Stone reported.

The ensemble played songs from their normal repertoire, such as “Bag O’ Miracles” and “Speaking in Tongues,” but also covered the Rolling Stones “Brown Sugar.”
